Kind of, but the incompatible versions all come from IBM.
- skissane 6y agoAlthough IBM invented EBCDIC, other vendors adopted it, and some of those other vendors created their own slightly incompatible versions of it as well. For example, Unisys mainframes (running MCP) have their own EBCDIC variant called "ASERIESEBCDIC" (named for its A Series mainframes). They also support another EBCDIC variant called "STDEBCDIC" ("Standard EBCDIC"), which I am guessing by its name is more compatible with IBM's (although I'm not sure which IBM code page it corresponds to)
